Deal to go to be true?

I put an ad up on CL 2 days looking for a New Nikon D600 and 70-200 VR II

And this guy emailed me saying he can get the Lens(FOR $1850) and Camera(FOR $1800) everything brand new in box but he would have to order them which takes 7-10 days. I pay no money upfront all he asks is that I have the money ready once they arrive and be patient.

I should also note he says that he sells photo gear on the side and its not his primary job.

It all sounds to good to be true so im wondering if I should give it a shot or just buy them new at my local camera shop.

Fixed lens for Nikon D3100?

Right now I own a fixed 35mm Lens, but lately I've been a little unhappy. I feel like the only way to get a great depth of field with my lens is to be relatively close to my subject. I was curious if I could get a better depth of field with a 50mm lens. Say I was taking a picture of a person, and I wanted ankles to the head in my picture, would I be able to get a better depth of field with a 50mm than with a 35mm. Would you suggest that I just save for a 50mm 1.4?

Are there any reasons to not get a nikon lense with this adapter for my camera?

I have a canon rebel t2i. I want to upgrade soon, but i'm leaning towards getting a nikon. Nikon lenses are excellent. Canon, so-so. I would rather buy a Nikon lense. (50mm 1.8) Are there any reasons to not get a nikon lense with this adapter (below) for my camera?

I know canon has a 1.8, reasonably priced, but it's very cheaply made.

Hi
Looking for quick responses please
I have a studio shoot tonight (my first one) and without looking a wally wanted to know if I need a lens hood? If its not completely necessary then I will order online and save £15… if I definitely need it ill have to go jessops now and pay alot more. This is an amatuer shoot so I wont be selling any of the photos… the model is professional though.
I think the lighting will be… light over the top of the model and one at the bottom.she will be on little platform.

Also, I have a nikon 18-55mm kit lens and a nikon 18-200mm vr2… which one would be best to use?

thanks

What are my best options! HELP!

I am a beginner photographer and have a recently purchased Nikon D5100. I bought the kit lens (18-55mm) with it as well.

I am helping a friend out with some portraits. They know I'm a beginner and aren't expecting unbelievable quality, nonetheless, I myself want decent quality photos.

Like stated, the only lens I own is a 18-55mm.So what are the best settings and options for setting up my camera for single portraits of people and a few group shots? I am going to say mainly outdoors for this situation.
So how should I set up my camera?
THANK YOU!!!

Is there any video editing software not compatible with a Nikon camera?

Im thinking of getting the Nikon D5100 as my first DSLR camera to do my film and media AS level work on, because the cameras in my college aren't brilliant.My first piece is for Film Studies and needs doing in December, I have to create a film. However we have to do the editing in college after Christmas.So before I go buying the camera I have to make sure it works with all types of editing software (so I can edit at home as well as in college, for when I make my new YouTube videos) so is there any out there, that are not able to work for Nikon cameras?

I can't edit NEF files with ViewNX 2?

I'm trying to edit Nikon RAW (.nef) files with ViewNX2.
I have an image selected with the program with the edit feature. The Adjustments tab on the side of the image has all the options greyed out, and I can't make any adjustments. For example, the white balance, exposure, sharpness, and etc, sliders are all greyed out and I can't change them.

How can I fix this?
If not, is there another program that can edit.nef files much better than ViewNX2?
